How YOU can help – Garden of Need’in Weed’in
We are blessed with such beautiful grounds here at Good Shepherd, but they don’t stay beautiful on their own. We are in need of “lay weeders”: members who can come on Wednesday and put in an hour or two maintaining the weed population. If you are interested, please show up on Wednesday evenings at 5:30 pm for some fellowship and weeding. For more information contact Margo Easter at 389-1467 or
margorita@bellsouth.net.
You will be SO appreciated! Thank you!
